ABSTRACT

The results of the present research indicate considerable regional importance of the harvesting of non-wood forest products and of the income from their sale for an improvement in the financial situation of households. A significant relation was found to exist between family size (considered with relation to the administrative division of Poland) and the harvesting and sale of forest fruit as well as between unemployment level and the income from the sale of the harvested forest products. No significant relation was found between the harvesting or sale and the forestage of regions. The results received indicate the need to continue the research concerning, among others, the influence of the size of the towns and villages of the families under research on the importance of non-wood forest product harvesting.

Key words: administrative division of Poland, household, unemployment, forestage, non-wood forest products, influence of harvesting on living standards.
